Single Stream Recycling
The Ocean County Recycling center began accepting single stream recycled material in May, which means they take commingled (bottles, cans, jars and plastic beverage containers) and mixed paper materials combined in one load.
Please note that although the Township has not changed the trash and recycling pick-up calendar, our waste hauler Pinto Brothers will pick-up single streamed materials at the curb if placed out. You may place either your separated or single stream recyclable materials out on the designated recycling days.
Please note that the township will change the 2011 calendar to reflect the single stream recycle pick-up in January.

E-Waste Disposal Ban
The State of New Jersey has enacted “The Electronic Waste Management Act” which bans the disposal of “covered electronic devices”. Covered electronic devices include televisions, computers, monitors and portable/laptop computers. The disposal ban becomes effective on January 1, 2011.
Computers, televisions and other electronic devices will now have to be recycled. Residents must bring computers, stereos, fax machines, televisions and other electronics to the recycling center.
Bring all electronics the Township Recycling drop-off center at 7910 Long beach Blvd in Beach Haven Crest. Items can also be collected curbside by calling to schedule pick-up at 609-361-6676.
The Township has implemented this program because of the electronics disposal ban required by “The Electronic Waste Management Act”.
Household Battery Recycling On February 1, 2010 new US Department of Transportation regulations about the disposal of dry-cell batteries throughout the United States went into effect. Because dry-cell batteries can short circuit and catch fire while being transported, the USDOT will require enclosing each hazardous dry-cell battery in a plastic bag to cover its terminals prior to transport.
Typical household alkaline batteries AAA, AA, C, D and 9-volt also fall below federal and state hazardous waste standards as a result of compliance with state and federal rules requiring the reduction of hazardous content in the production of batteries.
In accordance with these federal rule changes, the disposal of batteries in Ocean County and Long Beach Township will be as follows:
Alkaline (use-once) non-rechargeable, non-hazardous dry-cell batteries (AAA,AA,C,D and 9-volt) should be thrown away in the regular household trash.
Rechargeable batteries and button size (use-once) hazardous batteries should be taken to Ocean County Southern Recycling Center in Stafford 609-978-0913 and the County will provide bags for individual batteries. The center is located at 379 Haywood Road in Manahawkin.
Rechargeable batteries can also be taken to the following retail locations: Best Buy, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and Verizon Wireless. A collection box with bags will be provided for disposal.
Rechargeable batteries can be found in cordless power tools, cellular and cordless phones, laptop computers, digital cameras, two-way radios, camcorders and remote control toys.
Go to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste website for more information at www.co.ocean.nj.us or by calling 732-506-5047. The County hotline is 1-800-55-RECYCLE.
